About this Research Topic
Ozone pollution is a significant barrier to improving air quality and has a profound effect on human health and climate change. However, despite its critical impact, the mechanisms underlying ozone pollution formation remain inadequately understood. Comprehensive insights into these mechanisms are crucial for developing effective control strategies. Such strategies require thoroughly examining emission source control, meteorological conditions, local photochemical reactions, regional atmospheric transport, and chemical transformation processes.
This Research Topic aims to enhance the scientific understanding of the formation mechanisms of ozone pollution. By delving into various contributory aspects and their interactions, we seek to inform better strategies for managing and mitigating ozone pollution. This endeavor includes investigating the sources of ozone, analyzing trends and influencing factors, and understanding photochemical reactions through direct measurements and modeling studies. Additionally, we explore the ozone formation regimes and the impacts of meteorological conditions and climate change on ozone pollution.
Topics of specific interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Sources of ozone
• Trends in ozone levels and the impacting factors
• Photochemical reaction mechanisms, including direct measurements and modeling studies
• Ozone formation regimes
• Impact of meteorological conditions on ozone pollution
• Chemical and physical processes
• Impact of climate change on ozone pollution
